My opening words to anybody I hire are, 'I'm an extremely vulnerable person.'
From Amitabh Bachchan
The body is an amazing system.
Everybody wants to live. But sometimes the body just gives up.
A lot of my fighting qualities I inherited from my parents. They set tremendous examples right through my life.
I guess I've been extremely keen on theatre, on getting on to the stage, taking on different roles, enacting vocations, personalities, people, situations, and I guess that's the interest that has driven me to work in movies.
My father is a poet. He's a literary giant of this country - writes in Hindi - and also quite unique because he has a Ph.D. in English Literature. He taught at Harvard University, which is one of the most prominent universities in the country.
I think 'Crouching Tiger' is a genre of its own, and it's extremely well done, and God bless them for it.
I would like to believe that I still am a shy person; I am very introverted. I have a problem communicating.
I felt that for 20 years, I was wooing the people of my country and asking them to like me as an actor, and when they liked me as an actor, I told them, 'Now, you like my politics.'
Rajeev Gandhi was prime minister. We've had a long family relationship with them. He asked me to fight an election, and I went ahead and did it. But I was not qualified as a politician, and I am not going back there again.
